A vivid portrayal of the Jewish immigrants who went west to forge new and vibrant communities in every comer of the American wilderness. Constructed out of a rich treasury of many hitherto unpublished dairies, memoirs and letters, together with contemporary newspaper articles, photographs and drawings, this real life saga is filled with dramatic reminiscences that display the humor and humanity of the Jewish tradition. Offers an extraordinary view of men and women in action and constitutes a new chapter in the story of the American frontier.--Back cover of paperback ed.
